The wines of Tuscany including Chianti, and Montepuciano are much enjoyed. Although Tuscany is one of the few regions of Italy so well-known to Americans that they know it by its name, that is not to say that the whole region is as well-explored as the famous cities of Lucca, Florence, Siena and Pisa, with its leaning tower. You can stay on a wine estate and even help pick grapes for the wine-making. Every city and town in Tuscany is blessed with the finest monuments of art. The best of the artistic world from the 13th and 16th centuries is found in Florence, Siena, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa. But the region is not only known for its art. Across Tuscany are many attractive farmhouses and villas, nestled in the Tuscan hills, which provide opportunities to enjoy local cooking, wines, and to explore small villages, each with its own treasures. Villa Buonvisi has its own olive groove and grape harvest. Olive groves, vineyards and hidden Roman ruins rest among the picturesque old villages of Tuscany. The
famous Tuscan festivals include the Siena Palio (the bareback horse races through
the streets of Siena), the Jousting Tournament (Giostra del Saracino) at Arezzo
and the Gioco del Ponte in Pisa. For those interested in handicrafts, Tuscany
is known for its ceramics, wrought iron, leather goods, and raffia works. Book
